Quotes

“What would I do if Alex wasn't around? I would have no one to keep me on my toes or to fight. So of course I am pleased he changed his mind. I enjoy our rivalry. It is good for Arsenal, good for Manchester United and good for both of us.”
“I'm ready to take the blame for all the problems of English football if that is what he wants.”
“He's out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful. When you give success to stupid people, it makes them more stupid sometimes and not more intelligent.”
“Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him.”
“As a non-Arsenal player I would say Ryan Giggs is my Premier League player of the decade because he has combined style with winning. Also I feel sorry he could never attend the World Cup, somewhere where people get a lot of compliments when they do well.”
“He's like a PlayStation. I think he can take advantage of every mistake you make. Barcelona are a very good side but of course they have Messi who can make the difference at any moment in the game. He is very young but he can achieve a lot. There are not many players who can score four goals like he did. He has six or seven great years ahead of him and he can become unbelievable.”

Article

Arsène Charles Ernest Wenger (born 22 October 1949) is a French former football manager and player who has been serving as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development since 2019. Nicknamed "Le Professeur", he is widely regarded as one of the most influential football managers of his generation. Wenger was the manager of Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, becoming the longest-serving and most successful manager in the club's history and the longest-serving manager in the history of the Premier League.

Born in Strasbourg and raised in Duttlenheim, Wenger was introduced to football by his father, the manager of the local village team. After a modest playing career as a midfielder, with appearances for clubs including FC Mulhouse and RC Strasbourg, he obtained a manager's diploma in 1981. Wenger began his managerial career at Nancy in 1984 before joining Monaco in 1987. At Monaco, he won the French league title and the Coupe de France in 1991. In 1995, Wenger moved to Japan to manage Nagoya Grampus Eight, where he won both the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.
